13: Chapter 13 Devil's Villa

The Fragile Girl headed straight to the younger brother's room as soon as she left the Secret Room.

Because everyone was on the First Floor yesterday, she knew very clearly how long the White-haired Girl had spent in the younger brother's room.

Therefore, she had reason to believe that the clue regarding the Secret Room discovered by the White-haired Girl was found in the younger brother's room.

No matter how intelligent and promising the Fragile Girl was, at this moment she was just a little girl in high school, and her life experience was naturally not as rich as the Man in the Suit who had been working in the professional world for many years.

The Man in the Suit had a different understanding than she did.

He believed that since one key item—the younger brother's diary—had already been found in the younger brother's room, the probability of another key item appearing in that same room was greatly reduced.

He immediately made a decision and went to the living room to find the Middle-aged Woman. If he remembered correctly, Luo Yuejian had spent a long time in the couple's room yesterday, and the only other person who had also stayed in the parents' room yesterday and was currently still alive was the Middle-aged Woman.

At this moment, the Middle-aged Woman had barely recovered from the fear of seeing someone die right in front of her. Seeing the Man in the Suit walking over, she immediately stood up tremblingly, wiping her sweat-drenched hands on the apron in front of her clothes.

In her mind, the Man in the Suit was the person in this game most capable of leading her to victory.

She could tell that the Man with Slicked-back Hair had always looked down on her; the middle-aged man had no more backbone than she did, and in her eyes, the Fragile Girl was just an underage child.

As for the White-haired Girl, although she seemed to have some cleverness, in the Middle-aged Woman's heart, only an adult male could provide her with a sense of security.

Therefore, upon seeing the Man in the Suit walking toward her, the Middle-aged Woman, despite her fear and trepidation, asked almost obsequiously: "What is it, sir? Is there something you need?"

The Man in the Suit smiled kindly at her, his tone steady: "Do you remember what the white-haired lady did when she entered the parents' room yesterday?"

"Ah?" The Middle-aged Woman was stunned by the Man in the Suit's question.

She quickly reacted, frowned, and pondered for a moment before saying hesitantly: "I don't remember exactly, but it seemed like she was… reading a book all day yesterday?"

The Man in the Suit: "Reading a book?"

The Middle-aged Woman nervously pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, reading. She must have been reading a book the whole time. If I remember correctly, she didn't seem to put that book back…"

The Man in the Suit's eyes lit up; he felt intuitively that he had found the correct clue.

He immediately looked at the Middle-aged Woman eagerly, "Then please lead the way quickly; I might really need that book!"

The Middle-aged Woman was puzzled, but still followed instructions and led the way.

Arriving at the parents' room, a thick, heavy book, about the size of a Xinhua Dictionary, was lying face-down on the nightstand.

The Man in the Suit walked over quickly, picked up the book, and scanned it carefully for a few moments, then whispered with excitement in his eyes and tone: "It really is it!"

At this moment, the audience in the Man in the Suit's livestream room also saw the book.

[Holy crap, how is that possible?!]

[This book… this book actually records magic arrays!]

[And the page the White-haired Beauty flipped to yesterday is exactly the magic array drawn in that Secret Room!]

[Hahahaha, when the White-haired Beauty was reading yesterday, so many people were mocking her for slacking off. Who would have thought, our Beauty discovered the key item long ago!]

[The White-haired Beauty's slap in the face may be late, but it always arrives!]

[Ahem… fine, I admit it, this White-haired Girl really does have some skills.]

[This is just too outrageous. How did the White-haired Beauty know about the magic array in that hidden room yesterday?]

[Isn't this just straight-up cheating? I'm going to report her to the GM!]

[Turn it off, it's boring. We're here to learn techniques, not magic!]

[I think maybe there was some clue we didn't notice that the White-haired Beauty found… but honestly, I'm truly impressed by the White-haired Beauty's intelligence and ability!]

[Isn't it scary, don't you guys think? The White-haired Beauty had already found the key clue to clearing the level yesterday. Looking at her performance, it's very likely she knew about this Secret Room long ago, yet she wasn't in any rush to solve this game…]

[Isn't it because the key to open the Secret Room door can only be obtained at night? Our Beauty is just taking it step by step.]

...

Holding this mysterious book of magic arrays, the Man in the Suit was truly shocked.

He had originally thought that although the White-haired Girl was very smart and decisive, she should only be slightly better than himself.

Deep down, the Man in the Suit actually hoped to learn from the White-haired Girl's approach to finding clues to strengthen his own, so he always subconsciously observed Luo Yuejian.

But when he saw this book of magic arrays, especially the page left face-down, with the magic array composed of intertwining and shifting red and purple lines, he immediately understood that yesterday, while they were all still cluelessly searching for clues, the White-haired Girl had already figured out the truth of everything through the tiniest traces.

Perhaps in the eyes of the White-haired Girl, their searching for clues like headless flies yesterday and their subsequent concentrated discussions were nothing more than children's games.

This was no longer a matter of a gap that could be bridged by effort; it was the gap between a babbling infant and an adult with advanced thinking.

At this moment, only awe and admiration remained in the heart of the Man in the Suit.

He no longer hesitated, picked up the thick book of magic arrays, and walked downstairs.

While passing by the Fragile little girl who was still searching in the younger brother's room, he kindly reminded her: "I've already found the clue."

He waved the book in his hand, "It's with me, you can stop looking."

Although he couldn't compare to the devilishly intelligent White-haired Girl, compared to the Fragile Girl who was still in high school, the Man in the Suit still felt a great sense of superiority.

This provided a little compensation for the self-confidence that had just been shattered by the White-haired Girl.

Hearing the words of the Man in the Suit, the Fragile little girl turned back in surprise.

Seeing the thick book in the Man in the Suit's hand, she knew she had lost.

She gritted her teeth, looking at the Man in the Suit's poorly hidden look of triumph and confidence, let out a long sigh, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and followed the Man in the Suit back to the Secret Room.

The White-haired Girl, that is, Luo Yuejian, was still standing in the same place, dazed.

Although she didn't know what the little girl and the Man in the Suit had gone to do, since they told her to wait, she would just wait and not move.

Anyway, acting according to the teammates' instructions wouldn't be judged by the system as inaction, right? After all, that was the task her teammates had given her!

Anyway, the system hadn't given any reminders, so she would just pretend she was working~

However, Luo Yuejian didn't get to enjoy herself for more than a few minutes before the Man in the Suit walked back with vigorous strides.

He showed the book in his hand to Luo Yuejian with slight excitement, "Is this the book, right? The clue you mentioned?"
